I use a little less water and compensate the water with a little extra oil, they come out chewy and moist everytime.

Make sure your oven temperature is correct by using an oven thermometer and bake them in the lower-third of the oven.
Homemade are just as easy and you'll be infinitely happier with the results

check your oven temp. Make sure you do not overcook. Follow the directions to the letter. If they are still not chewy change brands or make homemade.

Add less water. The less water you add the chewier they'll be. Don't take them out early though.
